I don't think Pakistani team are well equipped with spinners, as such i don't see how Pakistan can win the test series in India.
The bowlers you mentioned will get Pak 20 Indian wkts in 3 test matches!!!vic_orthdox said:i don't think that searing pace will worry any of the indians on those pitches, especially during the feb/march period. it is the workhorse bowling, much like mcgrath, gillespie and kaspa of australia, that rao and rana can provide, that will allow pakistan to get wickets if they bowl consistently enough.
That's cleared that up then!sledger said:i think whether or not pakistan have akhtar is irrelevant to the fact that india can whitewash pakistan regardless of akhtar, if pakistan have no akhtar then india will be more than capable of whitewashing pakistan, however even if pakistan do have him then india are still capable of doing so. However the fact that they are capable of this feat does not neccesarily mean that they will achieve it....
Then you obviously haven't seen or heard of Kumble and Harb. They can run through Pak batting order with ease.Nonentity said:i think we will win the series regardless or whether akhtar plays or not.....i don't really see the indian bowlers troubling us much with the exception of perhaps irfan pathan...and i don't find their batsmen remotely frightnening either...

guess sehwag's 309 and dravid 270 werent frightening then?Nonentity said:i think we will win the series regardless or whether akhtar plays or not.....i don't really see the indian bowlers troubling us much with the exception of perhaps irfan pathan...and i don't find their batsmen remotely frightnening either...
Richard said:I'm glad to see Arshad Khan has been recalled, though - if the pitches turn, he's got a good chance of threatening almost as much as Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, I've always been frankly astonished he hasn't played more Test-cricket than he has. I'm hoping Kaneria will do well, too.
.
Afridi always comes with with a surprise, he's someone i cannot say something with certainty.I have a feeeling though that down the order he might do something useful with the bat.As for Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Yasir Hameed, Taufeeq Umar and Gautam Gambhir, I'm not so sure.
If we knew the attack would consist of such rubbish as Bracken, Williams, Lee and MacGill, anyone might have.LongHopCassidy said:When India was swatted in Australia in 1998-9 who would expect a 1-1 dogfight in 2003-4?
Looking at Youhana's record in India, I'd not back him to outscore very many people.Pakistan will fight hard against the old enemy, but much depends on Inzamam, Yousuf and Salman to outscore the Indians and Kaneria to spin them out.
Really?vandemataram said:Arshad Khan is crap, to compare such a bowler with greats like Kumble and Harbhajan is insult to imagination. The guy would struggle to trouble the Indians as would Kaneria (although Kaneria is talented but would still struggle as Indians are masters of spin)
Warne hasn't troubled India regularly because he's often gone to pieces against them... not to say he hasn't ever troubled them, though...dudeurfriend said:yep
Arshad khan and kaneria would not trouble indian batsman that too in india...
Hey when spinner of calibre of Warne had no effect in India how would you expect Arshad khan and kaneria to trouble the Indians... Such miracles rarely happen......
